Hotel Location & Map

The Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai is only a few minutes away from Dubai International Airport and from "bank street." Bank Street is a popular street in Bur Dubai, that hosts a number of banking centers and various business establishments, consulates and offices.

We’re also nearby to Port Rashid and Dubai Maritime City.

The Dubai World trade Center (DWTC), Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), and the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Center (DICEC) are about a five to ten minute ride away from the hotel.

Discover Bur Dubai

Try something new and have fun on the "abra" – a water taxi – across the Creek. The abra is a form of water taxi which allows you to cross from the Bur Dubai side of the creek to the Deira side. There are different categories of water taxies which include air conditioned water taxis as well as the regular non-air conditioned abra.

If you’d like more traditional forms of transport, taxis and public buses are plentiful, as well as the Dubai Metro Station which hosts 2 metro stations that are just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

Explore the Creek

After a busy day in the bustling city, enjoy a long, quiet walk in the nearby Dubai Creek Park or enjoy a dhow dinner cruise on a traditional dhow. Relax and marvel at the beauty of the skyline and coastline of Dubai just along the creek. Or sunbathe on Jumeirah Beach, just 15 minutes away.

Golf courses and desert safari tours are an evidence of the Dubai sporting lifestyle. The Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club is just minutes away, and you can book tee times in advance.

One of the wildest water parks, Wild Wadi Water Park spans an area of about 12 acres of pure fun with adrenalin-pumping rides and attractions. There are lots of activities to keep you busy during your holiday in Dubai.

Shopping in Dubai

Dubai is a shopaholic's haven; enjoy non-stop shopping and discover over 100 luxury brands and stores at BurJuman Shopping Mall, a mere walk from the hotel.
